Analytical Modeling for Translating Statistical Changes to Circuit Variability by Ultra-Deep Submicron Digital Circuit Design

This paper presents a physics-based compact gate delay model that includes all short-channel phenomena prevalent at the ultra-deep submicron technology node of 32 nm. To simplify calculations, the proposed model is connected to a compact α-power law-based (Sakurai-Newton) model. The model has been tested on a wide range of supply voltages. The model accurately predicts nominal delays and the delays under process variations. It has been shown that at lower technology nodes, the delay is more sensitive to threshold voltage variations, specifically at the sub-threshold operating region as compared with effective channel length variations above the threshold region.     

Description of the thermodynamic properties and fluid-phase behavior of aqueous solutions of linear,branched, and cyclic amines

The SAFT-γ Mie group-contribution equation of state is used to represent the fluid-phase behavior of aqueous solutions of a variety of linear, branched, and cyclic amines. New group interactions are developed in order to model the mixtures of interest, including the like and unlike interactions between alkyl primary, secondary, and tertiary amine groups (NH₂, NH, N), cyclic secondary and tertiary amine groups (cNH, cN), and cyclic methine-amine groups (cCHNH, cCHN) with water (H₂O). The group-interaction parameters are estimated from appropriate experimental thermodynamic data for pure amines and selected mixtures. By taking advantage of the group-contribution nature of the method, one can describe the fluid-phase behavior of mixtures of molecules comprising those groups over broad ranges of temperature, pressure, and composition. A number of aqueous solutions of amines are studied including linear, branched aliphatic, and cyclic amines. Liquid–liquid equilibria (LLE) bounded by lower critical solution temperatures (LCSTs) have been reported experimentally and are reproduced here with the SAFT-γ Mie approach. The main feature of the approach is the ability not only to represent accurately the experimental data employed in the parameter estimation, but also to predict the vapor–liquid, liquid–liquid, and vapor–liquid–liquid equilibria, and LCSTs with the same set of parameters. Pure compound and binary phase diagrams of diverse types of amines and their aqueous solutions are assessed in order to demonstrate the main features of the thermodynamic and fluid-phase behavior.     

Tomography of emissivity for Doppler coherence imaging spectroscopy diagnostic in HL-2A

A newly developed Doppler coherence imaging spectroscopy(CIS) technique has been implemented in the HL-2 A tokamak for carbon impurity emissivity and flow measurement. In CIS diagnostics, the emissivity and flow profiles inside the plasma are measured by a camera from the line-integrated emissivity and line-averaged flow, respectively. A standard inference method, called tomographic inversion, is necessary. Such an inversion is relatively challenging due to the ill-conditioned nature. In this article, we report the recent application and comparison of two different tomography algorithms, Gaussian process tomography and Tikhonov tomography, on light intensity measured by CIS, including feasibility and benchmark studies.Finally, the tomographic results for real measurement data in HL-2A are presented.     

Generalized linear model based monitoring methods for high-yield processes

Emerge in technology brought well-organized manufacturing systems to produce high-quality items. Therefore, monitoring and control of products have become a challenging task for quality inspectors. From these highly efficient processes, produced items are mostly zero-defect and modeled based on zero-inflated distributions. The zero-inflated Poisson (ZIP) and zero-inflated Negative Binomial (ZINB) distributions are the most common distributions, used to model the high-yield and rare health-related processes. Therefore, data-based control charts under ZIP and ZINB distributions (i.e., Y-ZIP and Y-ZINB) are proposed for the monitoring of high-quality processes. Usually, with the defect counts, few covariates are also measured in the process, and the generalized linear model based on the ZIP and ZINB distributions are used to estimate their parameters. In this study, we have designed monitoring structures (i.e., PR-ZIP and PR-ZINB) based on the ZIP and ZINB regression models which will provide the monitoring of defect counts by accounting the single covariate. Further, proposed model-based charts are compared with the existing data-based charts. The simulation study is designed to access the performance of monitoring methods in terms of run length properties and a case study on the number of flight delays between Atlanta and Orlando during 2012–2014 is also provided to highlight the importance of the stated research.     

活性焦法烧结烟气脱硫率影响因素统计解析

摘要：为明确影响活性焦烧结烟气脱硫的主要因素，通过模拟试验和生产数据统计分析探究脱硫塔自上至下脱硫率变化趋势和各运行参数对脱硫率的影响。模拟试验表明，循环使用后的活性焦孔隙结构更加发达，表面含氧官能团含量增加，进而其初期脱硫性能低于新鲜活性焦，后期优于新鲜活性焦。错流式脱硫塔自上至下脱硫率先后经历100%、快速降低、缓慢降低等过程。生产数据统计分析表明，脱硫率与SO2质量浓度、O2体积分数、H2O体积分数、NH3与NOx物质的量之比、解析温度呈正相关，与活性焦床温度、体积空速呈负相关。其中，SO2质量浓度、体积空速、活性焦床温度对脱硫率影响最大。运行参数之间存在多重共线性现象，烧结漏风率升高或空气补加量增加将引起诸多运行参数的变化，但总体上有利于脱硫率的提高。

Hydrogen gas production from food wastes by electrohydrolysis using a statical design approach

Hydrogen gas production was investigated by electrohydrolysis of food waste due to its high organic content. Different voltages generated by DC power supply were applied to food waste in order to produce hydrogen gas. Effects of the DC voltage, reaction time and initial solid content on cumulative hydrogen gas production, hydrogen gas content in the gas phase and total organic carbon (TOC) removal were investigated by using a Box-Behnken statistical experiment design approach. The most suitable voltage/reaction time/solid content values resulting in the highest hydrogen gas content (99%), the highest cumulative hydrogen gas formation (7000 mL) and total organic carbon removal (33%) were determined as 5 V/75 h/20%. The results indicated that food wastes constitute a good source for H₂ gas production by electrohydrolysis. Hydrogen gas produced by electrohydrolysis of food waste can be directly used in fuel cells due to its high putrity.     

Estimation of circulating bovine leukemia virus levels using conventional blood cell counts

Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is widely prevalent in Japanese dairy farms. To control BLV infections in Japan, segregating or managing cows according to their proviral load (PVL) is a rational strategy. This study was conducted to establish a quantitative procedure for estimating blood PVL per microliter using a statistical model to offer a cost-effective alternative to the conventional quantitative real-time PCR method. In total, 250 Holstein cows infected with BLV were identified from 10 commercial dairy farms. Information on age was collected and blood samples were tested for white blood cell and lymphocyte counts and PVL using PCR. Generalized linear models with quasi-Poisson errors were used to estimate PVL by selecting age, logarithm of lymphocyte count, and their interaction term as explanatory variables. To evaluate the model, blood samples of 92 BLV-infected Holstein cows from 2 other commercial dairy farms were tested, and measured PVL values were compared with estimated PVL values by the model. The logPVL per microliter was modeled by positive associations with log lymphocyte count and age and a negative association with the interaction term. In the evaluation, measured PVL values had a strong correlation with estimated PVL values (Spearman's ρ = 0.87). In conclusion, our model provides a cost-effective and more rapid alternative to the conventional method to facilitate test and segregation or management of BLV-suspected cows.
